Chapter 170: Chinese Baijiu
"Well, the hounds must be carried, this weather relies on manpower search, it is difficult to find prey, are you walking smoothly today?" Austin was still a little worried about the person with the worst physical strength in the team, so he wanted to know about Hong Tao's situation, so that he could better arrange tomorrow's hunting route. They have a day to spare tomorrow, and the search range will definitely be much larger than that of Hong Tao.
"There is no problem with physical strength, it is much better if you don't bear weight, but the gun is a problem that needs attention, tomorrow there are more people in your team who don't often touch the gun, I felt it in the afternoon, it is easy to have problems, I always inadvertently touch my finger to the trigger, this habit is difficult to change quickly." Hong Tao also gave his own feelings, relatively speaking, his feelings are closer to the people Austin has to take care of, so they are more valuable.
"Yes, I need to pay more attention to this problem, tomorrow I will try not to give them the guns to hold, or give them weapons after I find the prey, so that although I may lose the best chance to shoot, but it is safer." After listening to Hong Tao's suggestion, Austin thought that although they were commercial hunting operators, hunting should be put in second place compared to safety, and no one wanted to lose their lives for entertainment.
Dinner is still based on all kinds of barbecued meat and grilled fish, but Boss Liu is obviously not very interested in eating large pieces of meat, so he stewed a pot of potatoes and pork in a small pot and stuffed a pot of rice. Although the seasoning is not very right, this pot of pork has been well received by everyone, this is really not everyone's sycophant or friendship praise, Boss Liu's pot of meat stew is really fragrant.
The thick broth and mashed potatoes are mixed together, and there is a slight spicy taste, which makes everyone enjoy eating. Especially when you use it to mix it with rice, it is especially eaten with rice. The only flaw is the lack of an adjunct, which is vermicelli. If you can put some wide noodles in this pot of stew, it will taste even better.
"Such a hard dish, I can't help but drink some, I have to have some more!" Boss Liu took out the bottle of Wuliangye at noon again, and then began to distribute wine to the people present.
A whole bottle of Wuliangye was poured into the lid of 3 thermos pots, full, I heard that this is one of the best liquors in China, everyone came to be interested, and they all wanted to taste what it tasted like. So everyone used these 3 lids and began to take turns tasting wine.
After the first round, Jim and Miss Liu announced that they were out, and the black guy really couldn't drink this kind of high-grade wine, especially this 56-degree Wuliangye old wine, and after a sip, he ran directly behind the tree and vomited. And Miss Liu probably knew the power of Chinese baijiu for a long time, she didn't drink a sip, I don't know if Lu Dao can't drink it or doesn't want to drink it.
Of the rest of these people. Ignatius, Harrison, Pavey, Old Gale, Boss Liu, and Hong Tao are all among those who can usually drink high alcohol or have drunk high alcohol, so the reaction is not too big; Sister Erin and Austin, on the other hand, are more curious and less sensitive to alcohol, and feel that they can bear it after taking a small sip.
After the second round. Sister Erin and Austin also announced their withdrawal, in fact, they both have a little amount, and it is not a problem to drink at least 2 or 3 taels of liquor. But they drank too hard. Sitting is really a big mouthful, and Hong Tao's stomach twitches straight when he sees it. Not to mention these foreigners who have come into contact with Chinese liquor for the first time, it is estimated that they are already boiling in their stomachs at the moment.
A bottle of liquor. After three rounds, they were all wiped out, and when Boss Liu saw that there was still someone to drink with him, he immediately pulled out an earthy yellow porcelain bottle from his bag, and before Hong Tao could speak, he directly opened the lid, and the lid of the 3 large pots was full again.
"You don't have all the bars in your bag? Surely this is no ordinary Moutai bar? Hong Tao pointed to Boss Liu's small backpack, and then picked up the earthy yellow bottle, only to see the words Kweichow Moutai written on it, but this kind of packaging Moutai Hong Tao really has never seen it, he has only seen that kind of white bottle.
"Hehe, you Brother Liu and I just take this sip, this is a 15-year-old Moutai wine, you taste it, and it's okay. Don't save it for your brother, drink it as you like, I brought a box of the same, it's enough! Boss Liu patted his backpack, and there must be wine in it.
"Isn't it true that each person can only bring 2 bottles?" Hong Tao was a little confused, according to Zhou Xiaoli, each person is only allowed to bring 2 bottles of liquor into Canada.
"Who said that, you don't understand this, 2 bottles of liquor per person are tax-free, and the rest of my wine is taxed, almost 20 Canadian dollars per bottle, the higher the degree, the heavier the tax." Boss Liu smiled and showed off his knowledge, then raised the wine glass in his hand and persuaded him to drink again.
"And what's going on? It's a turtle again, it's still good to be rich, the tax of 20 Canadian dollars for a bottle is already very expensive, but people don't even blink, and they bring several boxes of wine when they go abroad, just for their hobbies, this thing can't be compared, people have to die more than people. Hong Tao pondered in his heart, and his mouth was not idle, although he didn't like the taste of Moutai very much, but for the sake of such a high import tax, it was better to take two more sips.
Soon, the second bottle of liquor was also drunk, and Boss Liu quickly took out the third bottle and continued to fill it. At this time, the foreigners had already drunk almost, and the fat man Pavey's nose was red, holding a piece of roast venison in his hand, and he was still fighting with Boss Liu; And Harrison, the handsome old man, even took off his winter suit, and wore a fur vest, and his whole body was still steaming; Ignatius and Old Gale were the least drunk, and by this time they were drunk, and sat on the trunk of a tree a little swaying, but still struggling to keep themselves from falling.
As the saying goes, the more you drink, the thicker the wine, the thinner the cards become. This is the affection, because alcohol can stimulate and paralyze people's nerves, so when alcohol intake is excessive, people will behave more sincerely, easier to speak, more willing to socialize with people, generally not familiar people, after drinking at the wine table, can quickly become friends who talk about everything. Of course, if you have something on your mind, or your mood is not high, you are also likely to have a drunken gaffe, which is not good, not only can not enhance the relationship, but also easy to have conflicts.
Boss Liu is a master at the wine table at a glance, he can control the rhythm of drinking according to the different performances of different people, and he has drunk it himself until now, and he is only laughing higher, and there is no situation at all.
In his previous life, Hong Tao often drank a lot of wine with his fishing friends, especially when he camped and fished by the water, it was really not over if he didn't drink and lie down. Therefore, for the amount of alcohol of most people, it can basically be accurately judged, like Boss Liu, the amount of alcohol has to be at least 1 and a half catties up, this is a veteran of alcohol killing, and ordinary people can't drink him.
Hong Tao is better than those foreigners at this time, but he is not too far from drinking beautifully, his alcohol volume is about 8 taels, drink slowly, may be able to reach a catty, like today's fierce drinking, it is estimated that he can't even reach 8 amounts.
"Tao, this wine is great, if I'm going to China, you have to invite me to drink this." Pavey's tongue is a little bigger.
"Don't, I can't afford this, there are not 10,000 kinds of liquor in China, but there must be 1,000 kinds, I'd better ask you to make it a little cheaper, the taste is almost the same." Hong Tao listened, what, please this wine! Everyone knows that this is delicious, but the price is estimated to be cheap, and these foreigners you must not be polite, what to say, as long as you don't lie to them, they won't care, this is Hong Tao and they have been with them for so many days, summed up an experience.
"You're so stingy, the last time Harrison invited you to drink at the pub, it was the best whiskey in Ireland." Pavey was clearly not happy with Hong Tao's attitude.
"It's different, do you know how much this wine costs a bottle? Boss Liu, give a price for this 15 years, and I will scare and scare them. When Hong Tao heard this, he had to be serious, this fat man is too good at talking, exchange Irish whiskey for Moutai to drink, or this kind of high-end Moutai, grandma!
"It's in the early 3,000s, buy it in China."
"I'm X, this bottle doesn't count taxes, it's almost 500 Canadian dollars, I'll make do with a meal, I can't afford more." Hong Tao told Pavey the price of the wine truthfully, and then patted his pocket, indicating that he was still a poor ghost. (To be continued......)
